    Claire,
    if you've received the money, and you're going to send it recorded then I can't see the problem?

    Hi everyone,

    I've just sold the ps3 on ebay, I put it on for £150 or best offer, someone with 0 feedback has just bought and paid for it. I don't know what to do, he has also messaged me saying not to forget to send it recorded as its a high value item and not to send an invoice as its a birthday present. I looked on his account and he's only joined ebay today. I'm really not sure on this, anyone have any thoughts?

    P.s I did the same one, bought my partner a present off ebay and gave it him as it was in the box, this may be what the gentleman is doing:)

    Hiya all, hope you are all okay :)

    Ive been a little busy this week (setting up my own company so a little stressed) i have however got up to 3% and the 4th will be paid in by the end of the week :)

    I love been able to read through this and get ideas, and the motivation i get from this is incredible, without you all i think i would still be spending and not paying it off!!

    I have been putting money aside to pay of %'s from wages and selling on ebay, ebay is my vice as i love to find a bargain!!!

    Hi all,
    I wanted to bring my total to a straight 5%, so today I've just paid off another £25.11 to bring my paid total up to 5%. Only 95% to go. :rotfl:

    My 1% = £27
    Amount paid = £25.11
    Total % paid so far = 5%

    yay im member 102 - was hoping for 101 but was pipped to the post!, just a correction though, my 1% is £80, not £75 done in bold jsut to make it stand out - not shouting or anything!!!

    bad week, slipped up and bought some v expensive paralympic tickets, but after a change of heart i shall put them back for resell, id rather have the money and im sure im just getting caught up in the moment. still aim to have less than £7k in the cc by end of aug, even if its just £6999.99!!!! :rotfl:

    I've got nearly a whole percent in change I would have used in the choccie machine at work.

    Didn't manage my Grocery Challenge percent last month so am trying again in August. It's a slow way of doing it, but it'll get there.

    105 here and happy. Just managed to get another 1% together from the penny jar which puts me at 9%.

    I'm giving the money to my Mum to keep until I can pay it all off in one go. Its an overdraft and everytime I reduce it, by next couple of months it is back up again. If I can clear it, I will be straight as I will be doing an extra day a week from September so I have decided my best route is to save it up and clear in one go. Determined this will work for me.

    Claire,
    if you've received the money, and you're going to send it recorded then I can't see the problem?
    Not an expert but can't they claim the money back even if they have paid? I always set my sales to exclude people with less than ? feedback.
    He could always say it was just the casing that arrived - or swap it for a broken one.
    Personally if it was a 'buy it now' I would cancel the purchase and relist.

    hey everyone, number 87 reporting for duty!!! :-)
    im up to 13% and have rummaged through my wardrobe and have found loads of stuff to put on ebay tomorrow!!! Not looking forward to it but it has to be done!! Not doing very well on one poll and valued opinions though and both my reviews on dooyoo havent been allowed!! must look into it properly!
    Also a warning for everyone using amazon trade in for books, i traded in 11 books and got £2.75 for them, but didnt realise you had to pay postage to send them off, its a bit of a con really!!
    hope everyone is ok and congrats on your percents!!!!

    Clearing off the credit card
